UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

IRON FITTING OR BRACKET FOR INSULATORS.

Application filed October 28, 1924. Serial No. 746,448.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNEST SAIGNoL, a citizen of the French Republic, and resident of Grangeneuve St. Etienne, in the Department of Loire, France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Iron Fittings or Brackets for Insulators, of which the following is a specification.

The invention is directed to an improve ment in fittings designed to be used with cross-arms, wherein the fitting is of double hook formation to embrace the cross-arm and rigidly secured in connection therewith through the medium of a single bolt.

The invention is illustrated in the acconr panying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a view in end elevation, the crossarm being shown in section.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same.

The fitting is shown as comprising an appropriate length of material 1, which is projected in spaced parallel lengths on top of the iron or other element engaged, as at 2, then projected down one side of the ele' ment as at 2, and then in spaced parallel lengths as at 3 below the element 4. The lengths 2 and 3 are in the form of return bends and have a length exceeding that of the element so as to provide apertures beyond the element formed by the return bends. These apertures receive a bolt 5 which engage the side of the element 4 in opposition to the projected length 2 of the fitting, to provide the necessary clamping action under the tightening of the bolt.

It is of course to be understood that the formation of the portions of the fitting embracing the cross-arm are to be adapted to 40 the external form of the cross-arm and that in the use of the fitting with a cross-arm of any external form, a complete and effective gripping of the same is provided for without the necessity of boring or otherwise cutting the cross-arm.

I claim:

1. A bracket cooperating with a support formed to provide upper and lower parallel strands and a connecting side length to 5 embrace the support, and means for tightening the upper and lower parallel strands relative to each other and to the support.

2. A support fitting for insulators comprising abent over length of material forming two parallel hooks, a support of any suitable shape surrounded by the hooks, a bolt placed between the two hooks for tightening the fitting upon the support.

Signed at the United States consulate, 69 city of St. Etienne, Department of the Loire, Republic of France, this third day of October A. D. 1924.

ERNEST SAIGNOL.
